There is no way an SP can survive a rogue stun lock with cheap shot > kidney/between the eyes e.t.c
If you trinket cheap shot/kidney, they have enough combo to between the eyes to sustain a mutilated. Dispersion means nothing as they simply wait for it to end to apply stuns (way too many CC in SoD)
Fear is trinketed, SP is forced to try to cast in melee but gets kicked. Due to the damage of some classes, and the shidshow of unbalanced runes the balance of SoD is way off
If you think you have the solution to how a SP can beat a rogue post below, thx guys
U cant give spriest more deffs as they already have it rather good compared to most classes.
Also, there isnt a single class ( apart from full tanks) surviving a full stun lock from rogue that has 3 brain cells .
So buffing priests only to survive that would make no sense, rogue needs some serious DR on stuns or make it cost tons of energy so if they decide to lock you for 3 days then cant also dash 5k dmg
Ngl I was kinda surprised to find that spriests were more squishy than I had though. Not saying they should have more survivability, but people on here made them out to be some kind of unkillable beast lol.
Can’t wait to see rogues saying their class is balanced due to common rogue arguments like “need CDs to kill stuff” blablabla. Yeah no it isn’t the braincells required to kill anything as rogue is literally nonexistent.
High damage and a ranged CC makes avoiding both impossible
Warrior = depends if the rogue knows how to kite/not use evasion
Hunter = depends on the build, if BM its kinda a loss, if survival its possible.
Warlock = depends on the usage of Metaform and/or Succubus, other locks lose
Mages = lose
Priests = lose, fear is instant but everyone trinkets it and you aren’t gonna hardcast
Druids = depends on spec, boomies very possible to win and ferals are a win with evasion/BtE
Shamans = depends, ele is easy, enhance with evasion/BtE is a win
paladin = humans lose, dwarfs win
What does a SPriest do when in dispersion? run around in circles for a few seconds? you don’t understand that priest has no ability to create threat to rogue regardless of dispersion and trinket. There is nothing a SPriest can do except maybe get 1 dot off in-between the disperse/trinket before stunlocked to death.
SoD is a clown show, there are so many inconsistencies and novelty/meme action going on its unreal
What kind of “algorithm” did they use to “balance” SoD?
You need to get good. Trinket kidney shot. Fear. If he doesnt have trinket, he is dead. If he has trinket, cast SWD when he trinkets in case he insta blinds, dot him, vampiric embrace, spam shadowguard until blackout procs and mind blast to end his life. If u get low, dispersion and watch him die to dots.
As a troll SP u cant seriously lose to any melee.
Innerfire+Shadow form is tanker than a lot of classes.
wth am i reading, who blinds after a fear trinket, literally want to know especially when they just keep muti spamming and BtEing. The only thing you are doing as priest dying faster that way. Absolute missplay of a blind.
sorry not everyone is gonna be able to spam shadowguard, thus that mindblast cast you cope for isn’t gonna happen. you literally accept your fate and die.
actually touch the game before you type again. this is just trolling.
innerfire+shadowform vs mutispam looks like you are made out of butter as SP.
What does he do? He can use it to retreat, he can use in a fight where his target has full dots and he uses it to win the fight when its neck and neck.
Shadow priests were NOT lacking survivability in Classic/Era, it’s absurd they were given it.
I think thats the issue… without dispersion, there is literally nothing a priest can do about a rogue. They cannot sustain them, They cannot out heal them and we certainly cannot free cast on them.
So there is zero counterplay vs a rogue. Which is a problem.
What in god’s name are you on about? Dispersion cannot be used to retreat against rogues they are faster than Spriest/teleports e.t.c they simply wait for it to end then resume the stunlock, you cannot even get 1 dot off .
The problem is way bigger than most people understand. The Spriest cannot even barely get 1 dot off unless the rogue is completely braindead. Unlike classic, you could trinket the kidney and perform 1 or 2 global spells and the rogues health would go low even if the Spriest died.
In SoD rogue has way to much utility/stuns e.t.c while SPriest survivability was barely increased, it’s a giant mess and is insulting to people with a brain who can decipher this mess
